Connie Johnson(C), urges Arturo Delgado to vote "no" November 8, on a referendum that would enshrine the death penalty in Oklahoma's state constitution on October 16, 2016 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Connie Johnson, a former state senator who is chairwoman of the "Say No" to State Question 776 Campaign, canvassed Delgado's Oklahoma City neighborhood with Amanda Armstrong(L) and Sara Bana. Lawmakers in Oklahoma which executes more prisoners than any other US state besides neighboring Texas want to enshrine the death penalty in the state's constitution. With capital punishment under fire across the United States, voters in the southwestern state will decide in the November election whether to reject branding the practice as "cruel or unusual punishment," and whether to empower the state legislature, as opposed to the courts, to figure out how to best execute people.
